( CALUM HOOD, cis man, he/him, 24, muse 15ย ) I was walking by the beach and saw ( nikauri davis )! I wonder what theyโre doing here all by themselves. theyโre apparently ( independent ) and ( charming ), but also ( stubborn ) and ( reckless ). When I think of them, I think of ( bloody knuckles against a punching bag, a black sheep with his heard gone, & the smell of a campfire on a warm summer night. ). Well, I hope to run into them in the future!ย
hi hello my lovelies. this is nik, and i hope you are all prepared for this charming yet sad boi. iโll list the triggers below as well as in the tags as a just in case. tw: death, tw: murder, tw: drug addiction, tw: abuse, tw: depression, tw: suicide.ย
nik grew up in cornell, and has spent the majority of his life here. he grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, everyone knowing who he was from his fatherโs debts, but that didnโt bug him until he was much older. while he was young, he didnโt understand. he thought maybe his father was a celebrity, especially with how much the man wasnโt around. the sad truth was, his father was a drug addict, and couldnโt put the needle down even if he wanted to.ย
while his father was off doing god knows what, he had his mother. she was the sweetest woman you could ever meet and she loved nik with a fiery passion. he was her whole world, and she use to tell him that his father was off fighting demons, but the only thing he was doing with demons was avoiding his own.ย
his mother worked while he was in daycare or school, some secretary position that paid well enough to put food on the table as well as support the habit his father held so dear. when he entered middle school, he started getting bullied by some of the other kids, and that was when the truth finally came out to nik. they claimed that his father owed theirs tons of money, and that he was just as worthless as his father. that day he came home with a black eye, and his mother finally sat him down and had the talk with him.ย
it was heartbreaking for nik. he was only in 6th grade and now he was dealing with the fact his father loved the high above all else, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. he begged and pleaded with his father, which would always end up with nik getting hit. his mother would try and stop it, but it only ever got her in the same position.ย
after a few months of that, nik gave up. he decided that he was going to find a way to get him and his mother out of their. thatโs when he started doing odd jobs around his neighborhood. mowing his neighbors grass, walking or feeding animals while their owners were out of town or at work. when he was 14, he had enough to buy his first bass, and thatโs where his love for music soared.ย
nik started playing when he had free time, and it seemed like he was made for it. he learned most of it from youtube, but he got the hang of it and fell in love with singing, playing the bass, and writing music. he knew that one day he could make it big and he could get him and his mother out of their for good.ย
when he was 16, he finally got a real job, and just saved as much of it as he possibly could, after helping his mother with bills and groceries of course. on his days off he practiced more, and got even better at playing. his life seemed to be going exactly how he needed it to.ย
fast forward to a month before graduation. there was a senior trip, and nik wanted nothing more than to be able to go. he got the money together himself, and being of age, he didnโt even need his parents permission to be able to go. the morning of the trip he kissed his mother goodbye, and without knowing it, told her he loved her for the last time.ย
three days into the trip, nik got a phone call from the cornell police department informing him that his parents were dead. the story was his mother and father had gotten into an altercation, and his father was high. he pulled a gun out and shot her. when he saw what he had done, he didnโt believe there was anyway out of it than to kill himself as well.ย
he left the trip early, and came back to cornell. he never stepped foot inside that house again, and more than likely never will. the house is still in his name, but he canโt bring himself to sell it. he still drives past every once in a while to remember his mother, and still brings flowers on her birthday and holidays.ย
his life has seemed like a dream since then. there are even some mornings he wakes up thinking its all a dream, only to be given a rude awakening when itโs not.ย
headcanons:
nik was always made fun of about his name and it seemed like no one could ever pronounce it so he goes by nik, even with his closest friends.ย
he stopped playing for a while but picked it back up when he was 20 because he knew his mother would have wanted him to keep going
he still works at tape it, and has since he was sixteen.ย
nik smokes weed, and itโs the only thing he does. heโll never touch anything harder.ย
nik has depression, but doesnโt talk about it with anyone. he just suffers in silence.ย
he has a cat named hobo that he found one day after work. the cat was so skinny and crawling inside a trash can, and nik couldnโt just leave him there.ย
wanted connections
friend group: these people are like his family. he would do anything for them, and loves them all with all his heart.ย
exes: more than likely someone he was seeing before his parents died, and then after he kinda just stopped talking to them. he never actually left them, he just kinda ghosted
fwb: i imagine he doesnโt want to get into anything serious at the moment, so he has a fling with a few people here and there
protege: this is someone heโs teaching how to play bass to make some extra cash on the side. itโs not really about the money for him, he just liked spreading his knowledge about playing the bass.ย
